yum 2.0.7 and Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'base'. Skipping
Hi
I have installed yum under redhat using:
Code:
wget http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.0/yum-2.0.7.tar.gz
tar -xvzf yum-2.0.7.tar.gz
cd yum-2.0.7
./configure
make
make install
(this is the only method by which I could install it successfully)
it looks like its basically working (i can run yum) but I cant see a list of softwares or install softwares here is what i receive for example when trying to install lynx:
Code:
[root@xxxxx~]# yum install lynx
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'updates'. Skipping
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'base'. Skipping
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
No Packages Available for Update or Install
No actions to take
it looks like the servers that are defined in /etc/yum.conf are incorrect, I have spent hours upon hours on trying to find correct servers, in forums, in the internet with no success, every server that i tried did not work for me..
Can someone guide me of what I should do? (and if someone has servers that are working can he share them with me assuming that is my problem...)
